Tuesday, August 30, 2016 (Travel to Leighton Lake North Campground, Tunkwa Provincial Park, Logan Lake, BC)

We were on the road by about 8:30 this morning...an absolutely gorgeous travel day!

We continued west going through the Shuswap Lake area...the lake is huge!

This is Sicamous, they claim to be the Houseboat capital of the world...

And Salmon Arm...

Wow! The lake is so calm!

Chase...

Thompson River...

 Getting close to Kamloops now...

Kamloops...

We stopped at the Walmart in Kamloops and after a quick shopping trip, we met Neil and Lisa in the Montana's Restaurant just across the parking lot. We had first met them at the campground in Fort Langley not long after we had started on our new lifestyle...and have continued to connect with them either spring or fall when we are back. But that changed a couple of years ago when they decided to buy a spot in Sorrento, BC and sell their motorhome. They happened to be in Kamloops today, so we managed to meet and catch up with them. So great seeing you both again!

Then we were on our way up the Coquihalla highway to the Logan Lake turnoff...towards Tunkwa Provincial Park...

We stopped in Logan Lake to fill up our fresh water tank, along with all of the 5-gallon water containers...

My favourite view along Tunkwa Lake Road...

It's been seven weeks since we were here...looking a lot browner!

Instead of staying at Tunkwa Lake Campground, we continued on another 1.8 kms down the road to Leighton Lake...and Leighton North Campground. This campground has access to the ATV trails and allows you to off-load and drive quads right from the campground. Looks like the work crews are finishing up the summer job...they were replacing the gas line through the area adjacent to the campground....

We backed into our favourite site, #1, and were just leveling off when Doug pulled up...a few minutes later Sue arrived. We were greeted royally by the two of them! Looking forward to spending the next 10 days here and catching up.
